TSS-2195 Transport Simulation Systems will be showcasing 16 Aimsun traffic modelling software at the ITS World Congress Melbourne with particular emphasis on showing the benefits of using open and integrated Aimsun models in Australian traffic modelling projects.

“One of our most prestigious projects to date is the hybrid mesoscopicmicroscopic operational traffic modelling for the new transport system in Sydney CBD,” says Alexandre Torday, Executive Director, Professional Services. “Construction is already underway on the light rail that will reshape transport in Sydney and reduce the city’s reliance on buses.

The Aimsun modelling platform in combination with ScatSim provides a cutting-edge modelling tool that can support the development of different demand management and operational transport strategies, a tool that will continue to support Sydney’s transport network in the future.”

On ITS WC home ground of Melbourne, TSS is currently collaborating with Swinburne University of Technology on projects to generate response plans automatically and also to provide system integration, customisation and model development services.

This includes importing the Melbourne Strategic Model for static assignment use into Aimsun, refining the geometry to fit mesoscopic and microscopic simulation, importing the Melbourne Scats database information, simulating the model with ScatSim enabled and providing a basic set-up for predictive traffic modelling.
